For my English 050 class we have to write a personal essay about a particular obstacle, hardship, or failure that we have overcome in our life.

We have to establish what the challenge was, what motivated me to rise above it, and how I finally conquered it( or have learned to manage the challenge)

Now I’m thinking about writing about being placed into foster care at 17, aging out of the system , not being allowed to have any contact with my siblings and ultimately how I’m coping with my siblings being placed up for adoption (no choice parents rights were going to be terminated either way so they voluntarily did it)

Does this sound like it would be an okay essay. I don’t care about getting personal I’m not ashamed or embarrassed about my past it makes me who I am today
